Age Range
Children, young people and adults depending on assessment route
Dyslexia North is based in Newcastle upon Tyne and serves Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland and the North East for dyslexia assessment and learning-performance work.
For Newcastle, local context matters: Newcastle families often need dyslexia reports that work for North East schools, Newcastle and Northumbria university support, DSA, workplace adjustments and wider SpLD questions such as dyscalculia or ADHD overlap. Families and adults should confirm whether the assessor holds an Assessment Practising Certificate or appropriate psychologist registration, whether the report follows SASC guidance, and whether it will be accepted for school, college, university, workplace, DSA, Access to Work or exam-access purposes.
